Documentary Exposes Famous Dutch Painter Johannes Vermeer



Penn & Teller released this documentary on their rich, bored friend who wanted to know more about famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's paintings.  This 4 minute clip explains a centuries-old technique that Vermeer devised and essentially took to the grave.  His technique was so revolutionary that it appears he trusted no one with the secret.  I guess "paint by numbers" should've been "paint by mirrors" all along.  Here's the link to the whole documentary.
